The Gift

Its presence was both strange and familiar. The sudden realization caused me to wake. I opened my eyes and that is when it became more and more clear. From the rippling cosmic void in the sky above, it formed into something familiar. A giant out stretched hand reached towards me. Its gesture was strangely comforting, despite its sheer size. This monolithic structure which had formed seemed to carry with it a message. I reached out and once I made physical contact, I felt an instant connection as its message began to transmit. The word which seemed to have the weight of countless beings was now clear: Peace.
